Mocking Trump is a good way to resolve the debate over whether liberals should resist him indiscriminately or choose their battles. It’s always worth belittling him! www.offmessage.net/p/poke-the-b...

Poke The Bear Donald Trump is a lame duck (not a bear)—an unusually weak one, in some ways—and he knows it.

New from me: Trump is a lame duck, an old, tired, easily manipulated one, whose vanity is a useful tool. Foreign leaders like Claudia Sheinbaum are right to mock him, and American elites should uncurl from the fetal position and get in on the fun.

Congressional Report Accuses Jordan, Musk Of Weaponizing Gov’t To Silence Critics For quite some time now, we’ve pointed out how Jim Jordan has weaponized the government to suppress speech. Quite frequently, he seems to be doing this in coordination with Elon Musk. And yet, some…

On New Year's Eve, the House Judiciary Dems led by Rep. Jerry Nadler released a pretty damning report highlighting something I'd been yelling about for two years now: how Jim Jordan was weaponizing the House Judiciary to silence speech: www.techdirt.com/2025/01/10/c...

I have 100 more sources to add—outlets not here yet—but hopefully you can already see that metajournalism relies on cross-indexing the work of institutions (corporate, government, nonprofit); journalists who aggregate video (e.g. Rupar) or fellow metajournalists who cite their sources (e.g. Maddow).

And so it begins.

The truth, however, will do him in.

In that week when Musk bought Twitter & started bungling it, the possibility occurred to me that he'd bought it to end its usefulness as a pro-democracy tool. I'm so grateful for BlueSky & the fact that we're all here now & that it's increasing possible to get our news here too!

I found that too, Rick 😎

I was preparing to pitch an op-ed on the nationwide protests calling for President Yoon's resignation, aiming to provide global context amid the limited international coverage.

Given the urgency, I’m sharing it now. I didn’t expect events to escalate this quickly. #SouthKorea #Democracy

Violence continues into the 5th day in Tbilisi as protesters clash with the increasingly brutal Russian-backed government.

A week after the Moscow puppet regime canceled European integration in favor of Russia's old world kleptocracy, protests have only intensified.

Just to give you a sense of the growth of Bluesky: the first individual Bluesky user has just reached 1 million followers. (It’s AOC—so, well deserved!)

There is no point in trolling if no one sees it.

User control over our feeds is great. Including the ability to fully hide from everyone, unwanted replies, and block those people.

If i hide a reply from a troll from everyone, no one sees it.

Moderation is great

Really helps engagement

JUST IN: In a major foreign policy speech, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer warns Donald Trump that he will not side with the United States over the EU after Trump allies suggested he must make a choice between the two.

the frenzy over the hunter biden pardon is a good reminder that the press knows how to make something a scandal and has decided that nothing trump does is truly deserving of that treatment

Dear Fox News: If you could take a brief pause in your outrage over Hunter, maybe you could report about Pete Hegseth’s penchant for getting wasted and dancing onstage with strippers? Kthxbye

Coffee.

People are leaving Twitter because it’s not fun anymore and no one is obligated to be on a platform they don’t enjoy.

It’s not rocket science.

And that's why I don't watch corporate media any more. It's no more than infotainment.

I am thrilled to be done with corporate media!

How Happy Are You NOT Watching Corporate Media? Written by Ben Meiselas

"I had to take a peek at our competition today. I turned on CNN, MSNBC, and Fox. It was 24/7 bashing of President Biden for pardoning his son Hunter. It was pathetic," writes @meiselasb.bsky.social.

It’s kind of incredible how long we’ve been forced to accept social media platforms that are openly hostile to their own users, suppress political content, and throttle third party links.
